Diogo Jota showed his usual goal-poaching tendencies to equalise for Liverpool midway through the first half against West Ham tonight.
The Reds had fallen behind to a messy Jarell Quansah own goal but swiftly restored parity thanks to their number 20 at the other end.
A chipped Cody Gakpo cross was met by Federico Chiesa, who acrobatically hooked the ball towards goal, and Jota was perfectly placed to leap like a kangaroo and get his head to it to nod it into the net.
It was just what Liverpool needed after a poor opening quarter to the game, and just what Jota would’ve wanted, having not scored since the opening day win over Ipswich.
